It's Talent, Not Coaching.

We've run plenty of 4-3 looks this year and still manage to stink up the joint, so I think the scheme argument has to take a backseat to the talent argument.

I think Carter is good.. He's a bit older and not really long term... But he's being seriously misused right now.. Didn't he struggle with playing LB in the 3-4 on his previous teams as well?

I don't understand the Redskins, it seems like we've been running in place for years. Never moving forward. We did a little upgrading on the line, got a little depth and now the D is screwing it up. (The o-line is still screwing it up but... At least we know what we really need... a C and a RT) But seriously. What is the missing piece already?

He left San Fran precisely because he couldn't get it down there. He was reportedly more comfortable learning the scheme here, but even so, his instincts/skillset, such as playing in space, showed themselves to be terrible, which is death for a LB.

I believe that C is fine with Lich and Monty. What we need are two true guards. I'm sick of having converted centers playing guard.

As long as it isn't Rabach under Center. Ugh God, don't even get me started.
